Li Xinchen hurriedly waved his hand: "Of course, Brother Xiao has also briefly introduced, plus a little inquiry in the military camp before, so he claims to be clear about the battle of Luliang." ”

Xiao Maha nodded: "Then the virtuous nephew might as well tell me, this battle of Luliang has been fought so far, we have really taken advantage?" Now my Dachen army may have to withdraw from the land of Luliang at any time, the land of Luliang is gained and lost, and the Northern Zhou army is far stronger than the Northern Qi army at that time, this land of Luliang is lost, and it is not so easy to get it back······"

Li Xinchen chuckled: "But dare to ask General Xiao, the land of Luliang was originally my minister's?" ”

"This ······" Xiao Maha was stunned for a moment and slowly shook his head, "No." ”

Li Xinchen immediately continued: "Therefore, in the Battle of Luliang, our army was able to take the land of Luliang for a short time, and in fact there was a harvest, first, it can train the army, and secondly, it also shows the possibility of our army crossing the Huaishui River to attack north. Of course, this is far from enough, please consider it, during the Battle of Luliang, did the Northern Dynasty suffer? ”

Li Xinchen's voice gradually increased, and even a little aggressive, but Xiao Maha obviously didn't notice this at this time, as Li Xinchen spoke, he already vaguely understood what Li Xinchen meant, in fact, Li Xinchen just thought about it from a different angle.

Now Xiao Maha and Xiao Shilian, including Wu Mingche, are all considering from the perspective of Lu Liang's gains and losses, so they see Nan Chen's vigorous crossing of the Huaishui River to the north, and the final retreat in front of the Northern Zhou army is indeed not a victory.

But on the other hand, if you look at it from the perspective of the Northern Dynasties, in the first two stages of the Battle of Lüliang, the Northern Qi and later the Northern Zhou Dynasty lost their troops, and even lost the land of Lüliang for a time, and finally had to mobilize the army that had just finished conquering the Northern Qi, and even the Northern Qi surrendered army that had not yet had time to reorganize, and forced Nanchen to retreat with the strength of the whole country.

The Northern Dynasty suffered a loss, and in turn, it can naturally be said that Southern Chen took advantage.

"If we retreat in time now," Li Xinchen watched the faces of the Xiao family and his son change, and then said, "The Northern Zhou barbarians have been so vigorous but they have pounced, and in the end they only got the land of Luliang that should have belonged to them, and they have not yet achieved the goal of strangling my main army, so naturally the gains outweigh the losses." ”

After a pause, Li Xinchen raised his voice and said: "If we withdraw in time now, this battle of Luliang can be regarded as a draw even if it is not our victory, but if we are still waiting here now, we are waiting for death, once the battle of Luliang fails, the general must also know what the consequences will be!" ”

Xiao Shilian frowned and looked at his father. What kind of consequences are there, not to mention Xiao Maha, he is also very clear in his heart, especially for the current Nan Chen, if he is really defeated in Luliang, then I am afraid that Guozuo will be crumbling.

In this battle, Nan Chen can't win, but he can't afford to lose either.

A tie may be the best ending.

Xiao Maha sighed deeply: "I also know this truth, but it's a pity that the old general Wu is still worried about it now, after all, taking the land of Luliang is the old general's hard work for many years, if he abandons it like this, the old general can't get over it in his heart······"

Li Xinchen made up his mind, turned around and bowed his hand to Xiao Maha: "General, the barbarian sentry cavalry is coming from the north, which means that their reinforcements are not far away. In the eyes of the younger generations, it should not be because they have few people, but because they are eager to find out the military layout and terrain of our army in this area, only in this way can they better weave a net of heaven and earth and completely trap us here! ”

Xiao Maha's face was gloomy and could drip water, obviously after Li Xinchen's analysis, he knew more and more the danger that he or the entire Nan Chen army was facing. And Xiao Shilian couldn't help but take a step forward: "Daddy, without further ado, ······ now"

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Maha nodded: "I understand this truth, and I will go to meet General Wu now." ”

Before the words fell, Xiao Maha grabbed the helmet and sword on the table and walked outside, and when he reached the door of the tent, he suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to look at Xiao Shilian and Li Xinchen: "You two also come along!" ”

Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian were stunned for a moment, and nodded hurriedly.

Waiting for Xiao Maha to go out first, Xiao Shilian looked at Li Xinchen slightly, with a worried look on his face that could not be concealed, hesitated for a moment, Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, why do you say that Daddy insists on taking the two of us over?" ”

Li Xinchen chuckled; "I'm afraid that General Xiao himself is not completely sure in his heart, not to mention that some words for our two juniors may be better than what he himself said······ After all, when it comes to the position where General Xiao is, there are some things that can be said not if you want to say it. ”

Xiao Shilian was silent for a long time, and sighed heavily: "To tell the truth, I originally thought that fighting a war was a competition between the two sides, fighting desperately on the battlefield, and being enthusiastic, who would have thought that only now did I find out that not everyone can let go of their hands to fight, up and down, there are thousands of people who hesitate when they hesitate, and under each other's constraints, whether they retreat or advance, they can still be entangled for so long, this battle is too wretched." ”

Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother Xiao, be cautious." ”

Xiao Shilian snorted heavily and didn't say much. And Li Xinchen shook his head, Xiao Shilian's meaning Li Xinchen understood very well, rushing to kill on the battlefield, happy and revenge, the most comfortable. But the actual situation is often not like this, and the fundamental reason why the Nanchen army is in a stalemate is not that Xiao Maha and Wu Mingche can't see the situation in front of them clearly, but because Wu Mingche still has some worries in his heart.

Wu Mingche's thoughts Li Xinchen can also understand, for such a veteran general who has been fighting all his life, of course, he hopes that he can win the last battle, so as to be gloriously disarmed and return to the field, but now the situation is getting worse and worse, so that although Wu Mingche is vaguely aware that he cannot win, he still has a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, Xiao Maha stood up to persuade Wu Mingche, in fact, he was opposing Wu Mingche, and for Xiao Maha himself, his foundation was too thin, and if he wanted to gain a firm foothold after Wu Mingche left in the future, he had to use the team left by Wu Mingche, so it was of course not appropriate to offend Wu Mingche at this time. It is precisely because Xiao Maha also has his own considerations that he has been hesitating whether to further persuade him, and even after Li Xinchen clearly broke this truth that everyone realized before, but no one wanted to believe, Xiao Maha still hesitated.

This is also why he insisted on taking Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian, as Li Xinchen said, some words are not suitable for Xiao Maha who has other thoughts to say to Wu Mingche.
